Can someone fill me in here? As someone who solewatches the anime, who is petra and allessandro. I don't recall those characters ever being mentioned.

They're from manga starting at vol. 6. If season 2 is going to end where I think it is (end of vol. 5), they won't show up this season.

Spoiler for Vol. 6 and on.:

Petra is second generation cyborg, using older girl (about 15-16 yr. old) and less augmentation and conditioning to lengthen lifespan. Alessandro is her handler. They would fall in love in like episode 8.

Doujinshi period Petrushka. (Note: This was released C64, or summer 2003, so about a year after GSG was serialized)

The current serialized version is very different from this. I have to say though, this old version is very awesome looking. In the gaiden,

Spoiler:

she was sent after Giuse and Henrietta, who were running away from the Agency.

The five doujinshi period manga chapters are about 70% translated. I was planning on translating all the author comments and sketches as well, but there's a whole lot of them, so I'm looking for extra translators and an editor/typesetter. PM me if you can help out.

I'm undecided on whether to scanlate the gaiden. It's 18+, and GSG is quite possibly one of the most awkward series to have H scenes, but it is from the original author...

Chapter 52 had Hilsher accepting a mission, but opting to executing it himself instead of deploying Triela....

Spoiler:

He manage to complete the assignment but not without some hitches. Of course, Triela got upset after she finds out what Hilsher has done. She threw a tantrum, asking why didn't he take her along and questioning "isn't fighting is what I'm meant for ?"

To that Hilsher answered "You role is to live. Fight and live long if and when possible" After hearing that, Triela crys like the girl she is and runs out of the hotel.

PS :- Moe meets Gar in Chapter 52 ! A Triela in a min skirt with her hair down in Tsun-Tsun mode throwing a tantrum, crying and running away is Moe. A Hilsher in l33t Interpol mode, hacking magnetic door, gunning people down even when one of the is behind doors = Gar.

lol
Me in other forum (with other member there) try to analog-ing Triella-Hillscher relationship as 'Young papa whos trouble with his rebel teen daughter, and have to raise her by himself, after the death of his wife'

And too bad she had to die to save Triela, I would've liked to see her in the Manga more.

i second that motion
why on earth would anyone want to go and do that
by the way i love the manga but why isnt the an eng version past vol 7 when ADV ditched the manga (it was removed from their website

ADV site for manga has never been that great on current stuff or updates.

We don't really know if they will release volume 8 and the just released number 9. Probably one day.

At the end of volume 6 they showed a preview/add for volume 7. But with all their company problems who knows when they'll release it. From volume 1 to 2 it was nearlly 2 1/2 years. 3 to 4 over two years passed.

cant someone just script the damn things
i have vol 7 fan made + vol 8&9 in jap
and the first two chapters from vol 10 (51 and 52) also in jap
adv is either way behind or they droped it all together
and from what i heard they did
(heard it online somewhere)

Ok the Volume 7 I have is the official Japanese one, infact I have all 9 volumes in japanese. I also have the first 6 by ADV in english.

Plus I get each new chapter in japanese as its released. 52 was the last chapter and the new ones come out about once a month. Can't really script it since it's kind of time consuming to translate it and type it up in english.

What happened is I got tired of waiting for the english ones by ADV so I started getting the japanese ones first since they come out in a timely manner. Plus the quality is much better for the paper and printing etc. If you know chinese they are up to number 8, but I only read english and japanese.

As for ADV dropping the series that's all rumors/here say for now. I doubt they gave up on it but who knows if they will take another 2 years to release volume 7. Their was a add for it but no one has a release date, not amazon or anybody as of yet.

Personally volume 7 rocks but 8 and 9 where kind of boring. But 10 is looking good.
